Gods of the Fall

The Gods are Dead—Now It’s Your Turn

There was a time when gods walked the world. Their magic pervaded the earth and the sky. From their mystical realm of Elanehtar, they brought plenty and pestilence. They judged the living and the dead. Their rule was absolute.

Then Elanehtar fell to earth like a vengeful star, sparking cataclysm and plunging the world into a dark age. The gods are gone, but their works remain—scattered and broken. The world struggles under the yoke of murder, slavery, and corruption. Dark things have squirmed free of their divine prisons, and even the afterlife has become a realm of nightmares.

But a power has awoken against the darkness. A divine spark struck in the hearts of new gods-in-the-making. You have this spark—the seed of godhood within you. Can you restore what was broken before the world vanishes forever into darkness? Can you claim a place for yourself in the heavens?

This book includes:

A complete, ready-to-play fantasy game world for the Cypher System, with a detailed history, new races, dozens of unique locations, and an array of celestial powers to choose from.

New creatures and NPCs, including the monstrous Hellmaw, guardian of the afterlife; seraphs, metallic servants of the divine; and ravers, the reanimated husks of dead gods.

Rules for growing your character from adventurer to god. Find your spark, choose your dominion, face divine challenges and labors, and fulfill prophecy to create a new pantheon.

Gods of the Fall is a complete campaign setting for the Cypher System. You need the Cypher System Rulebook to play Gods of the Fall.

Is this based on the podcast Gods Fall that came out a few years ago? (www.godsfall.com)

It is not.

I just found this and thought it was the Godsfall Worldbook. I was excited until I realized it was a Cypher System game. I really wish they would've named this product something else. Makes it seem like a ripoff of the podcast. Godsfall came out in early 2015. This product was released in 2016 per the date on the bottom corner (no preview of this book disallows me to see the copyright and date inside). The creators of this product could've been a little more socially responsible.

PURCHASER

Actually there is a preview, but it's available as a free separate product.

Very few information for the setting and mechanics do nothing to transmit the idea of your character becoming a god with a certain domain. instead they feel like generic buffs. For me it's the first let down of the Cypher System... [...]

A well done product, but like so many other Monte cook Games since the release of Numanera and the Strange, very few new original foci or backgrounds are introduced, and the new character types are simply slightly re-hashed versions of the ones already [...]

Wonderful world and history but have to agree with an earlier review. This game feels more like a fantasy superhero setting than divine being setting. One major complaint is that they added the element of dominion (part of reality that god oversees) an [...]

Fantastic new product from the Monte team. Afterworld is a dark setting with a populous at the very bottom of a big pit of despair and social degradation but in the emerging 'New Gods' and the Seven Prophecies you have a spark that to me allows [...]

These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format

These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
